    Ok, it was mostly fluff as it was a daily story they do on olympics.

    Olympics are very special experience for him
    He’s the anchor for China’s Olympics
    He’s sad for the Earthquake victims
    Donated 2mil to rebuild 185 schools
    China government groomed him for basketball (duh)
    Yao is uncomfortable being a celebrity
    Likes to hang with the wife (won’t talk about it though)

    But hey...he looks good in suit.

    Yao is a wonderful human being, we are VERY lucky to have him on the Houston Rockets.

    Yao is the face of the Olympics...I couldn't be more proud of the guy, and it almost makes me squirt a tear to know that he plays for my home town team. He handles it all with class and is a fantastic human being.

    Seriously.....

    Yao is just one of those guys you want to walk up to and instead of talking hoops just climb a ladder, look him in the eye and say....Thank you.
